Emek and Yeshiva Rav Isacsohn gave their students daily
exposure to Jewish heritage and values. Students at Emek and
Yeshiva Rav Isacsohn were required to adhere to traditional
Orthodox Jewish dress codes.
In 1994, the Bureau of Jewish Education of Greater Los
Angeles3 mandated that all Jewish day schools in the Los Angeles
area obtain academic accreditation by 2000.4 The Western
Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc. (WASC), is a regional
association which accredits public and private schools, colleges,
and universities in the United States. Yeshiva Rav Isacsohn
became a candidate for academic accreditation by WASC on May 5,
1992. Emek became a candidate for academic accreditation by WASC
on June 28, 1995. WASC granted academic accreditation to both
schools after they completed a 3-year self-study program.
Yeshiva Rav Isacsohn was accredited as of July 1, 1996, and Emek
was accredited on July 1, 1998. Both schools were engaged in the
accreditation process during part or all of 1995. Their
accreditation was based in part on their programs during 1995.
3 The Bureau of Jewish Education of Greater Los Angeles
provides educational support services and financial assistance to
Jewish day schools in the Los Angeles area and imposes
eligibility requirements on schools seeking its support.
4 Accreditation certifies to other educational institutions
and to the general public that an institution meets established
criteria or standards.
